It’s Bruce time again, folks. “The Promise: The Making of Darkness On The Edge Of Town” is a documentary by Thom Zimny about the making of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s fourth album “Darkness On The Edge Of Town”.

You will be able get your hands on the documentary as part of a lavish box-set “The Promise: The Darkness On the Edge of Town Story” which goes on release on November 12. The box-set will include 21 previously unreleased songs, rare studio and live footage, a copy of the documentary film and a copy of Springsteen’s 80 page notebook of handwritten lyrics. There will also be a 2-CD set called “The Promise” with the previously unreleased tracks.

However, for those who want to see the documentary on the big screen, Sony Music Ireland are hosting a screening next Tuesday (November 9) at the Lighthouse Cinema (Smithfield, Dublin 7) at 6.30pm. Thanks to Sony, we have FIVE sets of tickets to give away for the screening.

To win a pair, simply tell us what’s your favourite Springsteen song and why. Competition is open until tomorrow morning and I’ll announce the winners then.

UPDATE: due to the HUGE response to the competition – and the fact that entries are still coming in – I’m going to keep it open until 2pm. Keep the entries coming and I’ll announce the winners this afternoon. Thanks to everyone for entering so far!
